Professor Pruitt is the one of the best professors I've ever met. She is super kind, helpful, and patient. I went to every lectures and asked her a lot of questions. She was always willing to answer any kinds of questions and hold discussions with students. I studied hard in this course and got full score on both midterm and final. Love her so muchRate My Professors ↗
Clearly passionate, nice, and very knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed class material, but slides are very image heavy with few to no words, making notetaking and review difficult as all info is based off of her speech. Grading scale seems unnecessarily harsh & long turnaround times, but does provide extra credit opportunities.Rate My Professors ↗
Overall a very interesting class with a great professor! Professor Pruitt is very knowledgeable when it comes to art history and architecture and her lectures were genuinely interesting. She is very approachable! Lecture attendance was optional, but pretty necessary since the posted slides are mostly photos. Discussion attendance was mandatory.Rate My Professors ↗
Good teacher, definitely recommend going to lectures even though attendance to them aren't mandatory. Puts information on the slides that she only explains in lecture. Honestly super interesting class and TAs were amazing. I'm a very bad procrastinator and would put things off till last minute and still got an A.Rate My Professors ↗
Prof. Pruitt is super knowledgeable about her subject! You can tell that she really loves art, and it made the lectures so fun to attend. The classes always started with about 5-10 minutes of technical difficulties, and usually ran over by 5-10 minutes as a result, but besides that I really loved it!Rate My Professors ↗
